Cowboys reportedly cut Gordon

ESPNDallas.com is reporting that the Cowboys have cut cornerback Cletis Gordon.

It’s a surprise move considering how well he played in training camp and that it leaves the team with only three true corners in Terence Newman, Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick.

Gordon had 10 interceptions in camp, but managed to pick off only one pass in the preseason. His undoing might have been his play in the 27-25 win over Miami in the preseason finale last week. He gave up a touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter that allowed the Dolphins to go ahead 25-24.

Rookie safety Akwasi Owusu-Ansah played corner in college and lined up there some against Miami.

There have also been reports that the cornerback Bryan McCann, guard Travis Bright and defensive end Marcus Dixon were also let go.
